The former president passed shortly after 10 PM Friday, about eight months after the death of his wife Barbara

The 41st president of the United States and father of the 43rd, George H.W. Bush, who helped steer America through the end of the Cold War, has died at age 94, his family announced late Friday.

"Jeb, Neil, Marvin, Doro and I are saddened to announce that after 94 remarkable years, our dear Dad has died," his son, former president George W. Bush, said in a statement released on Twitter by a family spokesman.

Bush's passing comes just months after the death in April of his wife and revered first lady Barbara Bush -- his "most beloved woman in the world" -- to whom he was married for 73 years.

Family spokesman Jim McGrath says the 41st president died shortly after 10 p.m. on Friday November 30, about eight months after the death of his wife.

He is survived by his five children and 17 grandchildren.

Funeral arrangements will be announced in due course, a family spokesman said.
